It took a long time after Qin Zhen left before Xiao Yao sat down again.
He drank a bottle of wine by himself and finally left the place slowly.
He dared to make such a request to Qin Zhen just because he thought he knew Qin Zhen and knew that she was an honest person and would not make a complaint.
But now, Qin Zhen has been completely offended to death.
In Xiao Yao's heart, no matter which aspect he considered, he was unwilling to offend Qin Zhen.
One is that Xiao Yao sincerely regards Qin Zhen as a friend, and the other is the power of the Qin family represented behind Qin Zhen.
Xiao Yao felt a headache. He didn't know why he was so out of control and did such a stupid thing.
He got up and left the restaurant and returned to the mansion.
Because something happened, he planned to calm down for a while and stop going against the prince.
Above the court, it was a rare few days of calm.
But this peace was broken by the prince at the morning court seven days later.
The prince united with the officials of Yushitai and impeached more than a dozen people at once, most of whom were under Liu Changsong, Minister of War.
This time, it is no longer a small fight, but a serious crime of greedy for money, delaying the war, murdering the emperor's heir, collaborating with the enemy and treason. No matter which one is brought out, it is enough to punish the nine tribes.
Xiao Yao reacted immediately, and Southern Xinjiang's deployment was exposed.
He had always felt that something was not right, and it was not that he had not thought of this possibility, but Liu Changsong repeatedly rejected it. Now, the knife hanging over his head finally fell.
Liu Changsong stood at the front, his face pale and veins pulsing on his forehead.
He was particularly unwilling to give up. He turned around and asked the prince: "Your Highness, you need evidence to say these things. You just make empty accusations with white teeth. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
He turned to look at the emperor who was sitting on top, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please don't believe what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says. General Liu is desperately fighting the enemy in southern Xinjiang. If he learns that we have delayed his flight,
How heartbroken should he be when he is accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason? Hu Jianjun, who escorted the grain and fodder army to southern Xinjiang regardless of his own danger, also worked hard and achieved great results. How sad would he be if he knew that someone said that he was greedy for grain and fodder? "
Xiao Chengye narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Xiao Jue sneered and said coolly: "General Liu, who delayed the opportunity to join the enemy and betrayed his country, has been beheaded and displayed in front of the battle. He will no longer feel cold."
Liu Changsong's face turned pale and he said in shock: "What did you say? It is a taboo to change generals before the formation. What's more, if you kill him, who will take his place?"
Xiao Jue: "I don't need to worry Mr. Liu anymore. My father has secretly sent people to southern Xinjiang to take over the matter with full authority."
Liu Changsong: "..."
Xiao Jue continued: "As for Mr. Hu who escorted the grain and grass, he was also executed on the spot. All the grain and grass that were stolen have been confiscated, repackaged and sent to southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Jue handed the compiled memorial to Gao Cheng and said: "All the evidence is here, please ask my father to take a look."
Only then did Liu Changsong realize that things were completely out of control.
He subconsciously looked at Xiao Yao, only to see Xiao Yao lowering his eyes slightly and slowly shaking his head at him.
Liu Changsong's eyes darkened, and when he raised his head again, his face had completely changed.
He knelt down on the main hall with a plop, raised his head and cried: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that they would do such an unconscionable thing. It's all because of the low-level officials' ignorance of people that they caused today's evil consequences. Please, please
Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Xiao Jue sneered and said, "Is Mr. Liu's crime just that he doesn't know people well?"
Liu Changsong secretly cursed the prince, but he immediately said: "I don't know what they are doing. If I know, I will not allow them to cause chaos like this. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Xiao Jue wanted to say more, but Xiao Chengye glanced at him. Xiao Jue's heart sank and he immediately stopped talking.
He was a little too carried away for a moment, and even forgot that Liu Changsong was his uncle. He pursued Liu Changsong fiercely at this time, which seemed that he was too ruthless.
Xiao Jue took a deep breath, took a deep look at Liu Changsong, and pretended to say: "I hope everything is as Mr. Liu said."
After saying that, he stepped back and said no more.
Xiao Chengye's eyes fell on Liu Changsong, and then turned to look at his youngest son.
Xiao Yao stood at the front, his head slightly lowered, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he couldn't hear the outside world.
Xiao Chengye suddenly said: "Fourth, what do you think?"
Xiao Yao opened his eyes and looked up at Xiao Chengye with a confused expression: "Father, son and minister... I don't know."
"I don't know?" Xiao Chengye shook the book in his hand and said coolly, "Are you standing here to sleep?"
Xiao Yao immediately took two steps forward and knelt down, saying, "I don't dare."
Xiao Chengye: "So, what do you think?"
Xiao Yao said in a deep voice: "If this matter is true, then they deserve death. If they are unjustly accused, then of course they must be held accountable. Whoever provoked the dispute at this critical moment will be punished."
Liu Changsong was not mentioned a word during the whole process.
But Xiao Chengye refused to let him get his wish and asked directly: "Then do you think the Minister of War was unjustly accused?"
Xiao Yao paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know."
Xiao Chengye's voice became colder: "Then what do you know?"
"Whether the Minister of War has been unjustly accused should be thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple. He should not be convicted by a few words from a minister." Xiao Yao said softly.
Xiao Chengye looked at him for a while, then turned to Liu Changsong who was kneeling aside: "Did you just hear that?"
Liu Changsong's voice trembled: "I... heard it."
"Then go to Dali Temple," Xiao Chengye said calmly, "and explain the matter clearly. I believe that Dali Temple will definitely find out the truth of the matter and give you justice."
Liu Changsong's hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly, but he had to lower his head and said, "Yes."
He stood up, slowly took off his official hat, turned around and followed the imperial guards step by step out of the hall.
Above the main hall, Xiao Chengye looked around at everyone and said coldly: "I will never agree to anyone who wants to interfere with the affairs of Southern Xinjiang. I will never agree to anyone who wants to harm Lao San."
Xiao Chengye dropped these words, stood up and left.
There was total silence in the entire court hall.
After a while, Xiao Jue slowly walked up to the kneeling Xiao Yao and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Yao: "Get up, my good brother."
Xiao Yao raised his head, looked at Xiao Jue intently for a while, stretched out his hand to put on his, and stood up with the help of the other person's strength.
Xiao Jue was proud of his success, and his temper became much better when facing Xiao Yao, and he was not as irritable as before.
"As the eldest brother, I would like to advise you to put aside your relationship with Liu Changsong as soon as possible." Xiao Jue said coolly, "I'm afraid he will never be able to turn around again this time and won't be able to help you."
